AND DO YOU REMEMBER OUR CITIES, PEOPLE? - THEIR CULTURES GROWING, THEIR STRUCTURES RISING, LAID LOW IN WASTE IN DESOLATE SCENES, CLEANLY SWEPT BY GREEDY FIRE? fourteen THINK OF THAT ONE, CRUELLY SUFFERING, HAVING TO LIFT HERSELF ANEW. VIENNA AROSE! AND OUT OF DESTRUCTION CAME MEDICINE AND MUSIC, PHILOSOPHY, BEAUTY. EVER RISING TO GREATER TRIUMPHS VIENNA BUILT FROM THAT WHICH WAS FALLOW, VIENNA LIFTED FROM DIRE DESTRUCTION CLEAN, NEW BUILDINGS, FIRM AND SOLID.

You are to have the following equipment: one glass, one spoon, one candle, a bed spread, three sheets, 2 pillow cases, and as many blankets as you need. September And there we were. If it hadn’t been for the friendly faces of helpful school¬ mates, “big sisters,’’ and “little sisters,’’ it would have been rather drab. Regis¬ tration brought out past histories and future dreams—useful to someone, we hope. Then there was the Freshman party in the auditorium where we were con¬ fronted with tens of new names and faces we were to match up correctly. Mr. Scott and Miss Hale attracted the most attention, being new, but all were scru¬ tinized. . . . We really met Mr. Scott officially in chapel. Later he told us how hard he had tried to keep us from hearing his knees knock behind the desk for he knew he had a lot to live up to. We thought him very impressive, never dreaming he would be teaching us the right version of his Alma Mater before long . . . Soon, to get us to explore our surroundings in spite of ourselves, we had a treasure hunt. . . . By the end of that month attendance at church became settled, some folks getting up early to attend the brown and tan Catholic church, some later to attend the Colonial Federated Church, and some going in the afternoon to the little Episcopal Church at the corner . . . Bus schedules and opportunities to ride to Rutland were investigated and memorized by those who were able to go home weekends ... A whisper about a new library annex floated around with another rumor, cheering to those living in cold rooms because it promised the installation of a new heating plant next year if, if the legislature would grant us the money. October Remember when we went home for the first vacation and some of the boys stayed and worked? Incidently, a few amazing appetites for food and milk came to light. The Junior and Senior class officers and committees were elected. The Senior Dance was danced, with the first receiving line of the year an impressive one, and oh, so important . . . We really had fireworks that month, hot and heavy, over a simple question of the girls’ wearing socks without stockings, but when the professional reasons were put up against economy and comfort the question de¬ cided itself. We now wear stockings, except for sports . . . The Junior Class went to visit the Brandon institution to see how less fortunate children are cared for in the state, driving up the Bomoseen road among gaudy fall colors that are always so lovely here . . . One day we went up the North road and discovered the grandest views out over our colorful valley, and nice resting places, too . . . The Halloween party will always be remembered by the squeamish people. That coffin! And that was the time some of the teachers had to bite the apples out of thin air, and odd partners had to dance with the broom . . . Mr. Johnson sang for us in Chapel one Thursday and Mr. Fitch gave us a talk on interesting tomb stones . . . The seventy-seven Juniors went student teaching in the midst of the complications of rural school vacations and unusual transportation facilities. The Seniors were old hands and didn’t seem to be so much noticed when they went out, but the Juniors—from the publicity they received we thought there never was a more creditable group. November Do you recall when we elected representatives to the Boston conference? It’s too bad more of us couldn’t have gone because the reports indicated that there was a good time had by all, both in business and out. But we all partici¬ pated one way or another in the Home Coming Day program soon after and were quite amazed at how our graduate friends had stepped up in our esteem because of their professional status—and because of their pay checks! Many of them wanted to know about our clubs. We told them how we were hoping to have a more efficient system to make them more worthwhile. By that time everyone was participating in at least two organizations besides the Student Cooperative, Men’s Union and Commuters’ x ssociation. The Philip’s House girls had made an improved set-up by establishing their house on a more strictly cooperative basis, the Leavenworth Hall group had an energetic council working on their problems, and the Crow’s Nest, that veritable nest of practical jokes, was con¬ templating organizing. What a group, that Commuters’ group! When you go into their room, you’re apt to see any type of entertainment or activity going on among books, lunch boxes, card tables, and couches. One day they gave a food sale up in the Home Economics’ room that quite rivaled the Birdseye foodsales in quality, quantity, and even prices. Once, after a basketball game they put on an old fashioned party with square dances and a few old fashioned girls . . . We were serious too, on occasion. Professor Heinrichs came over from Middlebury and graphically presented European relationships and their far-reaching effects on us. . . . We thought, too, of others around us, for at Thanksgiving time we sent out baskets to many town families before sitting down to our own pleasant banquet where a program showed Thanksgiving customs at different times and in different coun¬ tries. (The costumes were most original.) December The biggest events, naturally, were the Christmas festivities which included carol singing (with refreshments!), a banquet in a candle-lit hall, a Yule log cere¬ mony, and a play the Dramatic xY ' t class developed and produced to show how our Christian philosophy continues to enrich life. This last was climaxed by an impressive Nativity scene. Private parties followed where pajamas and bath robes, sofa pillows and curlers were prominent among piles of colored paper and string (refreshments were exceptional, being more than the usual good night snack that so seriously upsets the weight chart) . . . The Men’s Union gave a dance without help from the other 81.4% of the school, the Freshmen elected officers, High School seniors visited us . . . Then we all went out for an evening! We tra¬ velled to Rutland in two big buses and a few private cars to hear Bruna Castagna, Metropolitan opera singer . . . Soon we heard our home town church bells ring for their own Christmas celebrations as we then had scattered to our homes, from Derby Line to Hartford, and from Niagara, New York, to Claremont, New Hamp¬ shire. seventy-eight January “What did you get for Christmas” greetings were soon snowed deeply under papers and exams. We scurried around, snatching opportunities to go sliding, skiing, or skating, even tobogganing, glad that the super cold snap that had cracked pipes in the Foyer had passed and we wouldn’t be freezing our fingers. Clothes collected in laundry bags or on the lines downstairs, and parents received hints that perhaps marks weren’t quite what they should be, but—we also wrote home about the genial Welshmen who sang for us their many old-country songs, and of their soloist who gave us a cockney number and a gruesome bedtime story. . . The N. Y. A. and state helpers had plenty to do to keep up with everything, sho_ veling snow or coal, typing for the faculty, or seeing to it that we had sufficient vitamins and minerals set before us. February The Castleton Conference, our own really professional conference, came and went with the usual seating and serving complications that attend all our larger gatherings, and then—the long-awaited Winter Carnival. What cared we if the snow had melted and the skating were impossible? We got roller skates and skated in the gym, played volley ball, treasure hunted, and had a good time anyway, watching the proud king and queen walk down the avenue between their attendants to sit on the great ice throne, receive the reverence of their subjects, and delegate their favors and rewards. Again that night they ruled, presiding over the Sophomore Hop from a massive throne, descending to lead in the dancing. That was all during the reading spree when those interesting books circulated, with the reminder “read page 72,” since a few Juniors had been discovering books all this first semester in American Novel Class. March Again the Commuters rose to prominence by staging a feature show of stars and varieties which brought forth the talents of our soap box orators, chorus girls, laundrymen and ice peddlars. They all then celebrated their birthdays together with us at a banquet on the anniversary of the new school, with a pro¬ gram dramatizing all the important events of the past twenty years and fore¬ casting an illustrious future . . . We again turned toward the cultural and listened to the Middlebury Orchestra and Vermont State Symphony, appreciating all the instructions and information drilled into us in music classes . . . When our delegates went to the New York Convention later some of them again made use of that knowledge. That was a memorable trip for the four boys who were chosen to represent our four classes. The girls were generous that time! April Suddenly the Sophomores began to expound teaching practices and find out how little they knew when they had to face their first group of pupils. “Pro¬ fessional” was scarcely an adequate adjective for a description of all their tired glory of being teachers “in the field” . . . The Juniors and Seniors began to spruce up, for superintendents were popping in at odd times. There were shoes polished, hair combed with discrimination, smiles flashing—they just must be presentable! . . . Again a conference called us to Rutland where we mingled with the teaching crowd, examined text books, listened to discussions, and, if we were good, were privileged to hear Commander MacMillan lecture on Greenland, illustrating seventy-nine with unusually beautiful pictures. He put a hole in our magnificent conception of the “Children of the Cold’’ and enabled us to see how they really lived . . .Then one day Dr. Florence Hale, from Maine, painted a verbal picture of the challenges of rural teaching. How hard we wish that the salary in town schools were not quite so tempting . . . One evening we gathered to see and hear Shakespeare’s women as portrayed by a Little Theatre actress, Mary Hutchinson. Portia as the lawyer, Lady Macbeth with her bloody hands, Rosalind capering in the woods, Juliet softly and teasingly saying good night, and the mighty Cleopatra in all her graceful beauty came to life before us. May Mother’s Day drew near and passed as we found ourselves host to a strik¬ ingly different personality. Dr. Ting Su, of Indiana and China, a most intelligent Oriental student. He lived with us for a week, sharing our life, unconcernedly telling us of his folkways and manners, smiling at our curious superstitions, cook¬ ing chop suey in Dr. Woodruff’s little kitchen, and demonstrating the use of chop sticks at a student table . . . Not long before we had had a fascinating young Eng¬ lish sailor here to talk with us. He was able to attend our Freshman dance (the most ambitious starbedecked event of any dance committee up to that time). Mr. Jewiss is an officer, had been at the evacuation ot Havre, his home in London had had a “direct hit,’’ once he was bombed and rescued at sea, but still we found him amazingly cheerful, as Dr. Ting Su was. We wished both could have been here for our May festival to see our Queen and join in our play. Dr. Su did attend one of the Breakfast Club picnics and found us as informal as could be, even in early morning hours seeing the sweepers around in the halls wearing work dresses and with bandannas on their curls . . . Tryouts were being conducted for the big play of the year, “Pride and Prejudice,” which quite outdid “Maniken and Mini- ken” . . .But again, speaking of programs, this was a year of interesting ones in¬ deed. We heard about Mexico and saw a shrunken human head, dishes and clothing which Jimmie Moore brought with him. At one time we saw on the screen the most delightful and valuable pictures of birds and flowers of the north and west. And during chapels we saw in pictures the story of erosion and its effects, safety programs, fire and accident prevention, the workings of the telephone system and historical events. There were book displays, exhibitions of Japanese prints and Hilda Belcher portraits, illustrated art methods, and examples of Freshman and Sophomore accomplishments that would rival any compared with them. One lecture by Alice Schalek, European Journalist, imprisoned for a week by the Gestapo, proved humanly interesting. June As we look back we realize that Dr. Woodruff has really been an important part of our school since she spoke to us officially in chapel early in the year. She has been our guest at banquets or entertainments, and at her home on call for all her friends and acquaintances. As we walk through Friendship Garden we always think how it was she whom we have to thank for our beautiful grounds, including our great estate, Glenbrook . . . Our campus has bloomed with violets, dandelions, and lilacs in turn, and the Sophomores have found at least seventy-five wild flowers for science. The Freshmen have learned how to count calories, the Juniors to give oral reports, and the Seniors to write learned papers. Each of the classes have visited other institutions including Barstow school, the Yergennes Reform- eighty atory, Rutland Reformatory, and the Windsor prison. The Seniors have exper¬ ienced practiced social graces with Miss Kelly as lunch hostess, the Juniors have sat in court, the Sophomores have demonstrated their disregard for a lack of cars by riding in a truck for observation trips, and the Freshmen have participated in a p ' ay day for prospective Normal Schoolers. The International Club, Rural Club, C. N. S. Players, and Men’s Pinion have held their last meetings and elections of the year. The Birdseye has published its greatest endeavor of the season, and, we expect, bought a typewriter with their hard-earned money. The Castletone, the yearbook of yearbooks for Junior grad¬ uates, has been produced and the rumpus of securing autographs between Com¬ mencement exercises repeated once more . . . The graduates, Elementary Pro¬ fessional Probationaries, Standard, or degree-receiving, have marched down the front walk between the flower carriers to their reserved seats, to their diplomas, and a few to receive fitting awards and honors . . . All this, along with the Porch Sing, and the Candle Lighting service, was held on our campus, in the open for all to see, and that all might hear our music, our speakers, and our presentations to the school. Crowds came to see us at our last performance, parents to take our personal paraphernalia home, and friends to cheer us as we left, some of us to return in the fall, some after a year or two of teaching, some going regretfully to return only for Homecoming Day, and some perhaps, never. “Goodbye!” we said. eighty-one _ J f yi ' W i £ s, : mA V 1 |J® . ; ■ 111 b mi Bfi i jfa%.

This is no less true of schools than of people. May we of the alumni association, and those of you who will be of us in the future, make an increasingly greater effort during the coming year to take our proper share in promoting the welfare of the school and so make the trinity of faculty, student body, and alumni a powerful force for the good of our profession.

Emphasis upon the changes which have come within the twentieth cen¬ tury is not new, they have been too spectacular to escape attention . . . Like a Frankenstein, humanity stands on the brink of being destroyed by its own in¬ ventions . . . As we look over the last twenty years, we know that it was indeed “one of the most tragic periods in history,” tragic because after the close of the World W ar, by the institution of a Society of Nations, man had professed “his faith in the principles of freedom and justice”—and then began his “retreat from that ideal . . . a retreat in which the United States participated.” Truly, the international hell of today is paved with neglected opportunities. As a result we are facing momentous issues. “A conflict between imperial¬ ism?” Would that it were that and nothing more! . . . The World of Tomorrow in 1919 has become in 1941 the World of Today . . . One of the merciful Providences of life is that the new day brings a new op- mnety-two portunity. There is no reason why the mistakes of the past, responsible for the troubled world of the present, should be repeated in the World of Tomorrow . . . Preparedness is often on our lips today; I do not need to tell you in what sense . . . Preparedness for construction, not for destruction, learning how to live together, not how to destroy one another, that is the problem of the century, the problem which must be solved if civilization is to endure . . . To the words of Dr. Valkonen I add the words of Robert Sherwood: “We are conscious of our past failures. We are conscious of our present perils . . . We are armed with more bitter experience, more profound knowledge, than any generations that ever were in the history of the world. If we can’t use this ex¬ perience and this knowledge, then the human history is really finished, and we can go back and achieve forgetfulness and peace in the ooze from which we ascended.’’ Life based on the ideal of the Sermon on the Mount, or life based on the lack of ideals which today is making of Europe a shambles, . . . which shall it be? A race of human beings, believing in love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, good¬ ness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control, or a race of robots, the individual simply a cog in a mechanized world? The power of the spirit, it is the supreme need of the world, the hope of a new world order. May we be ready to meet this test in the World of Tomorrow. ninety-three Excerpts From SOMETHING HIDDEN BEHIND THE RANGES Commencement x ddress of Dr. Francis L. Bailey Commissioner of Education of Vermont Principal, Gorham Normal School . . . The thoughtful student recognizes the fact that he has now acquired only a few of the tools that will be needed in his life work and that purposeful and persistent learning will always be required of him who would use his know¬ ledge effectively and measure up to his own potentialities. Let this school continue to serve as a fountain-head of inspiration and as a source of practical help as you undertake your new problems. . . . The abundant life is one of exploration of unknown areas and of surmount¬ ing the difficulties which arise as barriers to achievement and happiness. “Learn or perish,” says Dorothy Canfield Fisher in a book by that title written with teachers especially in mind. . . . Of the many obstructing peaks which arise forbiddingly among our ranges of experience, one of the first to confront you will be Ignorance, perhaps the greatest barrier to human progress. . . The chief function of the school is not so much to teach the children how to make a living as it is to teach them how to live. The trail which leads over the barrier of Ignorance is the Open Mind, the Desire to Learn. Beyond the range lie Truth and Understanding. A second great obstacle, which lies in wait to ensnare one’s desire to learn, is the drag of Inertia, which has reduced many worthy aspirations to mere day ninety-four dreams. . . The trail across this menacing barrier is the straight path of self-discipline and zeal. . . Beyond the barrier of Inertia lies Achievement. Still another prominent peak whose treacherous sides have spelled defeat for many is the obstacle ot Fear; fear of one’s lack of ability, fear of physical danger, fear of failure—-the most demoralizing and crippling factor in life. Fear breeds fear . . . Dare to take the risk when necessary. You will gradually develop con¬ fidence, self-reliance and the necessary stamina for negotiating the path of Courage which surmounts the barrier of Fear. Beyond this barrier lies Self-Fulfillment. Overshadowing these three peaks of difficulties is the lowering outline of the obstacle Ill-Will, with its sharp shoulders of Greed, Bitterness and Disloyalty . . . A persisting faith and concentration upon the goal must be your compass. Beyond this range lie the happiness and peace of mankind. ... As explorers and discoverers, in rhe field of human relationships, we must follow the trail of Goodwill or we shall never be teachers, we shall never be worthy citizens . . . Earnest citizens everywhere are demanding superior qualifications of character and citizenship in the kind of person chosen to teach their children. More than ever before we must realize the important role of the school in building character and goodwill. In the past too large a share of the responsibility, perhaps, has been placed upon the school, with insufficient cooperation from home, church and community . . . How short, then, is che time we have in school hours to do our part in building character and world-citizenship! . . . We must make these hours count. . . this must be the main objectives of our schools, that the barriers of Ill-Will and Greed may crumble beneath our feet as we pursue a steadfast course ot Good-Will. Let the difficulties which may confront you ... be a challenge to you as the ranges were to Kipling’s “Explorer”—drawing him on over the heights to new attainments and fuller understanding. “Something hidden , go and find it. Go and look behind the ranges; Something lost behind the ranges , Lost and waiting for you , go!” ninety-five HONORARIE To Omicron Sigma are elected each year those members of the Senior and Junior Classes who give evidence of outstanding scholarship.

Mother of teachers, shining o ' er us. Let thy light pierce every gloom; Stately radiance ever gleaming , Quickening thoughts to heights anew. Music by Eloise Blanchard, ’28 Listen to our voices. Mater, As we tribute bring to thee. Glorious birthright, ever giving, ' Fruited toil thy honor be. Bless us ever, Alma Mater, Blessing eternal give us now. Touching each our lives forever. As with reverent heads we bow. Chorus Alma Mater! Alma Mater! Loving mother ever near. While throughout the distances Circle round thy children dear, Clasping hands in fellowship, Alma Mater! Loving Mother! one hundred Tribute to Hubbardton A Mortal stood on the battlefield of Hubbardton and gazed upon a hill not far away. On it was rising a lofty shaft, said to be for to tap with its mechanism the energy of the Firmament above. Then he asked himself, why this place chosen of all others in the world? Then by a supernatural force he was moved to say: It is because Heaven comes here nearest to the Earth of anywhere known; caused by a magnet a little to one side below having an attraction far more powerful than that of both poles of the earth below and of all the stars in the sky above, combined. That mag¬ net being the events, the actors therein, on a stage with a setting far more dramatic than any in ancient Greece or Rome in their palmiest days of old. Well have Homer the Greek in his Iliad and Virgil the Roman in his Aeneid sung of the mighty Heroes, Agamemnon, Lord of Men, Achilles the Divine, the brave Hector of too severe a fate and Aeneas of a Goddess born, the two greatest poets and poems ever known. And of their fierce combats beneath the lofty walls of proud Ilium on the storied plains of Troy. But they were all as naught compared with our heroes, Warner the Commander, Francis the Martyr, and Lyon the Savior and their brave deeds amid the Green Hills of Old Vermont on this the Battlefield of Hubbardton. Truly those two episodes were defeats in one sense, but in another, the two greatest and most glorious Vic¬ tories ever won by mortal man. For one led to the founding of the greatest Nation of old, Imperial Rome the Mistress of the ancient world. The other to the founding of the greatest Nation of all time, our dear and beloved Fatherland, the United States of America. Contributed by Zenas H. Ellis of Fair Haven , Vermont , in memory of our Green Mountain Boys of Old who won the American Revolution.
